a book about “women’s desire” that centers on the men in these women’s lives and THEIR desires. i was sooooooooo disappointed by this. how can u include 2 literal victims in it, write the graphic scenes of what happened to them, and be like no no this is about WOMEN and THEIR desires. it felt like the author used her mom’s story and the story of these women as trauma porn instead of actually writing anything meaningful. she should’ve just interviewed men like she had initially wanted to.

this was brought to my attention after seeing that this was being adapted to film with shailene wooley.

 ate this up in practically a day. revealing and intriguing. my interest ranking: maggie, sloane, lina. interesting prose from the author of describing things. explores female desire. read like fiction with how bewildering it was esp maggie. very taboo. the research the author dedicated to create is impressive. 

surprised that the title and cover are so plain for such a heavily researched project, it doesn’t give any impression of what it’s actually about

I'm disappointed because the description left me wanting more than what I'd read. Actual representation of the diversity of women's desire. Much more of a focus on trauma, not much analysis or commentary? No sense of closure or reflection on the parts of the main women?

It was a hard read through countless moments. Even if some of the characters were questionable or unlikable actions there were points where I personally identified with each one or have known a women to confide in varying action. It did leave me wanting more but I know they're still living their lives so you're not going to get a neatly finished story. I did want answers on how they resolved though.

Lisa Taddeo is such a talented and gifted writer. This book was challenging based on the content, but very well written. Definitely worth checking out, but there are some content warnings.
